No speakers, no ego, no pretense.

 


Who says networking has to be boring? Who says conferences have to be in meeting rooms?

Organized by women founders to provide a safe space for sharing & growth.

 

Quote

“

This was a truly magical experience in so many different ways. I left feeling inspired supported, and energized. Thank you, thank you, thank you <3

”

— Vlada Bortnik
CEO & Co-founder Marco Polo

What to expect

Heartfelt Dialogue

Roundtable discussions focused on actionable insights & advice - with each participant hand-picked based on their interests, expertise, and value to the group dynamic.

Organic Relationships

We don't believe in traditional networking. Instead, let's connect over shared experiences, and naturally find ways to collaborate and support each other.

Restful Flow

 

Rather than packing the schedule, we include copious free time so you have the space for your mind to feel curious & expansive...and to stumble into an awesome convo with a new BFF.

Magical Evenings

Jeffersonian style dinners focused on vulnerability 

 

Activities to build intention, rejuvenate & nurture

“ 

Truly these past few days were exceptional. The space was a magic container. The unconference style of small break out groups. The Jeffersonian style dinner. My soul feels happy here and I've been to many conferences/retreats. This is truly my favorite one I've been to. 

”

— Andrea (Andy) Coravos


Co-founder & CEO of AllStripes

“ 

My culminating moment arising from this retreat: today I called my board members and had the conversations I need to have (for weeks).

 

You all inspired me to have clarity and ask what I needed of them.


This space was inspirational, safe, magical.


A field of badassery.

”

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is invited to the event?

You are a Female Founder or Funder and you are looking to connect deeply, are ready to vulnerable, and you are searching for your next quantum leap!

What is included in the price?

Two nights accommodation, all meals, facilitated activities & gatherings.

Why are VC sponsored tickets more expensive than regular tickets?


VC-sponsored tickets are priced higher because they help subsidize scholarships and discounted tickets for early-stage founders who may not otherwise be able to attend. 

Are other attendees staying offsite? Can we coordinate hotels and rides?

Yes. Some attendees are staying offsite, and we encourage coordination. We've set up a WhatsApp group where you can connect with others to arrange shared accommodations and transportation.

Is the ticket refundable?

While not refundable, registration can be transferred to another approved FF!

How do you decide who gets the King Bed or the Sofa Bed in the Double Room option?

The Double Room (1 King + 1 Sofa Bed) has two separate pricing options: King Bed Option: $2,645 & Sofa Bed Option: $2,345


Bed selection is based on pricing - the King Bed is priced at $2,645 and the Sofa Bed option is priced at $2,345. Both guests will share the room but have separate sleeping arrangements.

Can I book a spa treatment during the retreat?

Yes! There will be time before the retreat officially starts to enjoy the spa. You can explore the spa menu here: Two Bunch Palms Spa Menu. We'll be coordinating sign-ups for those who would like to purchase treatments and will send out details via email.

Are you still looking for sponsors?


Yes! Sponsors help us make this event the best possible for our female founder community. If you are interested in supporting the retreat, please email bffretreat@googlegroups.com for more information.
